RBG
Revelatory documentary on an unexpected hero - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Documentary 2018 99 mins
Director: Julie Cohen
Overview
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of the nine justices of the U.S Supreme Court, the highest legal court and one of the most prestigious positions in the country. At the age of 84, Ginsburg has developed a breathtaking legal legacy, while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon for her upholding of liberal values within the finely balanced court. But without a definitive Ginsburg biography, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior's rise to the nation's highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans - until now. RBG is a revelatory documentary exploring Ginsburg's exceptional life and career.
